Working on primary school teachers' preconceptions of organizational climate and job satisfaction

Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify positive and negative feedback from teachers on their perception of the school's organizational climate and job satisfaction. A mix-method approach was used to examine it; a survey method (220 teachers) and a semi-structured interview (20 teachers) were used. Teacher Job Satisfaction Questionnaires was employed to measure teacher job satisfaction. The quantitative study found that there was a significant relationship between all dimensions of organizational (climate student relationship, collaboration, decision-making, educational innovation, and school resources) and job satisfaction. These dimensions also emerged in the Interview content analysis on positive and negative feedback from the organizational climate themes affecting their job satisfaction. Recommendations for further studies are also suggested.
